Sburb Live Homestuck Panel at Anime Detour 2013: Full Panel

[@Cannibal-Wings]

Hey, I'm the Karkat in this panel, and over the years it's been my unofficial duty to read these comments once or twice a year and respond to any questions that pop up. I'll be copy pasting this message in all of the panels that I was in. Though I've no doubt they will get buried as new comments come in. First, I'll say that I'm always happy to see new comments, years after these panels have gone up. It's genuinely amazing to see that the fandom is still kicking around and that people can still get enjoyment from our antics, some of these panels are nearing a decade in age by now! Incredible! I'll always treasure the responses both in person and online that these panels have gained. I was, and still am, incredibly proud of the work we put into these shows. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for enjoying what we've created. The fact that during lockdown, there were comments from people saying how this brightened their day, is absolutely amazing. I'm so thankful that our jokes and skits were able to make a bad situation just a little bit better for some of you. That's something I'll never forget. Thank you. Second, I want to address that I no longer have any social media information for the majority of my costars. Even though I was incredibly close to a few of them for years, people change and as the years go on, people drift and move apart. This is no different. Many of these fine folks have moved out of social circles that I hang out in. Some of them have moved states, changed names, and abandoned social media accounts and moved without leaving updates. As I said before, some of these panels are almost a decade old! That's a long time! Most of my costars I haven't seen in person in nearly seven years. Stuff like this happens, and it's sad, but hey, that's a part of life. You meet people, you drift, you meet new people. While I might not have answers to where my costars have gone, or how to reach them, and I might not be in the fandom anymore, I'll still try to field some questions that pertain to the panels themselves. (as long as I can remember!) If for some reason you do want to reach me on social media, I've been using the name Cannibal Wings on the majority of my socials. Twitter @Cannibal_Wings Tumblr @Cannibal-Wings Ao3 @Cannibal_Wings Pillowfort @Cannibal_Wings (do people even use pillowfort anymore???) I mostly do horror content now, and talk about comics and video games. Again, this fandom, everyone, meant and mean so much to me, even years after I left. This was a big part of my life for years, and I don't regret a single moment. I sincerely hope that everyone reading this has an amazing day, month, year, and life. May you find just as much fun and joy in all your fandom endeavors, and never forget to be brave enough to be kind. -Tye (Karkat Vantas)

[@shrimpyshrimp2243]

damn this made me smile

[@isabelguarderas1301]

Dude you're awesome! I'm sad I'm late to the fandom but glad some people still enjoy it. Cheers!

[@al1ty]

I always look back at old homestuck panels for nostalgia and I loved your Karkat! thanks for this comment, was really nice to read some more updated stuff on where these cosplayers are today

[@rubberduckieee]

Holy shit, it's awesome you replied so recently! And a happy new year!!

[@ditzyvods]

YOOOOO!!! OH MY GOD IVE SEEN YOU IN SO MANY HOMESTUCK PANELS AND IT LITERALLY BRIGHTENS MY DAY!! ^__^ I HOPE U HAVE A GREAT DAY DUDE!! :D

[@snowplexus]

John and Eridan arrive five minutes late with Starbucks... John is officially my favorite character.

[@qualitytrash4134]

Mhm same XD

[@captaincrow5474]

Lizabeth Nixent wait a second.....why is Eridan's arm around John......wait.....

[@mirellebird3552]

Lizabeth Nixent they were both drunk on Starbucks when Eridan had there hand around john

[@astergeddon4184]

tHIS IS NOT THE ONLY PANEL WHERE JOHN COMES OVERFASHIONABLY LATE WITH STARBUCKS. which i think is just the tiniest bit funny because the fact that he lived in washington shapes half his personality for me and starbucks is so seattle. half because it started in seattle.

[@claritylore1185]

Me too He’s just so funny 😆

[@katbeare4]

Best Karkat. Also, fracking loved the "A hundred motherglubbers gonna tail me nutin' beez in the trap, bee, beez in the trap..." I died xD

[@mcwildflowers5512]

That's the way I'm singing that song from here on out!

[@ashleynacole011]

Nepeta could probably say "I wanna kill everyone in here" and they would all go 'awwwwwwwww' XD XP

[@bryan_alessandro]

It's true :v

[@artisticProgram]

john and eridan showing up late with starbucks

[@тєяє]

Eridan: screww you guys me and john wwere getting starbucks!

[@Kaniyakakusaki]

The Eridan is unbearably attractive. Move on Justin Timberlake, Eridan is the new sexy, and he was always here.

[@doriancross6889]

Annie War Homiside true, and it makes me kinda angry cuz it’s Eridan, like, ew.

[@lu6801]

Katy Cross yes ive read all of homestuck, but he isnt “ew” once you take the time to understand his character!! :))

[@doriancross6889]

mellownii you right but it also makes me uncomfortable because I have the same lunar sway and aspect as him the only difference is I’m a Leo not Aquarius. But he’s pretty cool I just have mixed feelings

[@milesjohnson4070]

Annie War Homiside 5 years later and this is still my favorite comment

[@majagrozdic9287]

Damn this is still alive

[@kdc_creative]

Sollux: BEEZ Eridan: -_- Sollux: You guys should stop being attracted to Aradia's backside. It is a *WAIST* of *TIME*. All: AOOAOAOOAOAOAOOAOAOAHHH!! ~*Grub Noises*~ ~*Karkat reading*~

[@mirandaboyer8740]

Ga2terBla2terMa2terCa2terDii2a2terPla2terAfter... 2ollux Captor... (KDCCreative 2) equis said that but yes XD

[@kdc_creative]

Either way, ownage. Also, *Equius.

[@katyalariviere2055]

... I was never specifically attracted to Eridan before I watched this panel.

[@beccamckinnon6830]

Right? He's the best Dirk and Eridan cosplayer ever.

[@luarnbondvik886]

He's really good at cosplay

[@jamieparker941]

Best! He's adorable.

[@eddie-fi4kx]

Isn't that eridan like every dirk in these

[@rley101]

The singing part almost made me cry. And this Eridan cosplayer is almost exactly how I imagine him being normally (not in-game and stuff).

[@violetvictoria4144]

"Whats your opinion on irony?" "...NO."

[@j.sanchez6633]

Anybody look at Eridan during the pickup line battle when Dave and Terezi were talking. He was staring at Dave's butt, then an audience member noticed and he started smirking and nodding. Then before Karkat stood up, he grabbed Dave's butt. Dave turned around and I think asked "Did you just grab my ass?"

[@rley101]

Cookies Cosplay Productions Eridan and Dave (the cosplayers) are dating. I have no excuse for Karkat, though.

[@j.sanchez6633]

rley101 i know they are, it's just I never noticed that happened until now. I started laughing at Eridan's face tho

[@j.sanchez6633]

rley101 also Karkat didn't grab Dave's butt, it was Eridan

[@rley101]

Cookies Cosplay Productions Hehe. I know right. And oh, okay. That makes more sense, now. :)

[@j.sanchez6633]

rley101 I nearly died at Dave's reaction. It was so amazing. Even if you're dating, you don't know what your partner is gonna do during a panel.

[@madeleinewhittey5968]

This panel has my favorite Jade, Karkat, John, and Dave. They're amazing.

[@Cannibal-Wings]

Madeleine Whittey Karkat here, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the panel! I know we all had fun performing it!

[@tamakiamajiki4070]

Lord Tien how do you audition for these panels? i really wanna cosplay as nepeta but i have no idea how to do it. by the way you do a really awesome job cosplaying karkat

[@Cannibal-Wings]

Savkat Vantas Well our group is based out of Minnesota so we do local cons. Basically what happens is that our panel leader will come up with the idea and motivation to put on a panel and submit the form to the con. Then she'll write up an audition form and spread it around our local cosplay social media, like our tumlbrs or facebook. People interested in auditioning fill out the form and send in their audition video and our leader goes through all of them and picks the ones that fit the panel the best. I'm not sure when our next performance will be though, a lot of our cast/leader got burned out on panels so it's been a few cons. I usually reblog the forms when we have one, but I never know who's following me so that's probably not the best information.

[@tamakiamajiki4070]

Lord Tien ok thanks so much. these panels look like a lot of fun. i wish i couldve met you at this panel since your one of my favorite cosplayers :( but yea thanks so much for the info i will try and look into it

[@madeleinewhittey5968]

Oh wow, I'd forgotten you were based out of MN! I live in the Twin Cities, so that's really cool! :3

[@juicedb0xes]

[@CaeneusTelamon]

[@isakaner-roth4525]

Is it bad that my new headcannon is the eridan and john go out for coffee?

[@bambaramba2605]

Dream Aradia: "Beat like a goat!" Dave: "What?" John: "Just sounds like Taylor Swift." Me: "PREACH."

[@zombie-nom7415]

Oh my god. Who were Eridan and Feferi? They look really familiar and really attractive and just... Who? I feel very fangirl like now...

[@ohjeez5371]

eridan's tumblr is firecrackerstorm

[@bryan_alessandro]

+Ze Flaffy Pamcaek and nepeta's tumblr? :v

[@daniellahansen5726]

Karkat just looks SO done with all the grub noises the second time they cry like; I ain't raising those fuckers. Good luck Kanaya. The karkat is SO good! Everyone in the panel was really excellent. I'm a new comer but I think they are all awesome. I specifically liked Karkat, Dave and Gamzee! And don't get me started on Eridan's walk with starbuck in his hand XD

[@graceisaloser8619]

Rebel Angel I know right? They were all great!

[@sootsprite3924]

Rebel Angel I

[@justpeachii_xx]

Dude, I can not be the only one that fucking cried of laughter when Tavros horns were hit off by Aradia. XDDD

[@Neunae]

[@salamencerobot]

Actually Tavros hit them off when he went to high-five Aradia XD the direction they flung indicates that.

[@gamzeemakara3185]

Garrett Dore It's not that big of a deal. They were having fun :3

[@breeannaboggs8964]

[@ChelEther]

Best panel ever

[@literateknits]

Actually, I wrote it! Karkat did help A LOT, but technically I wrote it. You can read the whole thing on my tumblr (Literateknits) under the SBURB Live! Tag.

[@reneecarr8788]

I hate the fact that when I am 18 and able to go to this they probably won't have it anymore ;-; FML

[@demiraichan]

also maybe have the timeline roughed out more, there are parts where there is nothing happening but the panel members talking quietly to one another. Ya did good.
